COMBINATION INK-BorrLE Aivp Application filed. August 13,1919 Seria1..No. 3:1'(, 2 12.:

Be 't known thatI, JoHiv SMITH, a citizen of the United. States, -residing at New York city, in thecounty' of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in, Combinat In -BQWS'eildl ln w lsit t i the l owi e' S1 'fsp fi a on;" e e e ee b n had [1:01 theaceompahying drawings.

f A further object of the invention is the provisionof a device'of this kind comprising a gettle hav ng an well mounted ther i lama/di e e her by. the in Ye may be raised andjconnected within the neck of the bottle} Hence,-should the bottle be upset, biiflasmall portion ofthe ink will 'belost. I w v z w A f rther object of the invention is the provision'of means" for emptying and refilling the ink well, while the bottle is in a vertical position.

A further. object ,of the invention is the provision of a combination ink bottle and ink well comprising novel features of construction. One of the features of construction'consists in the provision of a tubular connector between the cork proper of the bottle and the ink well, in which a valve stem is mounted provided with a valv at its lower end and which valve is provided with an opening to cooperate with an opening in the ink well, whereby the well may be emptied or filled.

Another feature of the invention is the provision of means for rotating the valve stem and holding the valve stem in different adjusted positions.

While the design and construction at pres ent illustrated and set forth is deemed preferable, it is obvious that it is susceptible to.-

changes, when reducing the device to a practlcal form for commercial purposes, and the Qright to these changesis claimed, provided theyffall within "the scopev of' what is claimed.

'The'lnventlon comprises further features and combination of parts as herelnafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

Inthe drawings 2 F gure 1" a perspective view of the com- '.bination ink bottle and ink well constructed Fig. 2 is Ia vertical sectional viewthrough the samegshowing the-ink] well in lowermeet pe ftien n hi be le and di ele i the v 1 l"sectional' view showing and threaded intothe whereby the ink in the Referrin git o' thedfawings, lfdesignates an neck2, the inner wall of which has threads 3; A cork 4 :i'sfmou'nted in the neck and has secured thereto' 'a wooden; toplpiec'e'hf A tubular extension- 6 extends through the "cork and downwardly into the ink bottle. The

upper end of the tubular guide has an annular disk 7 which is secured between the cork and the wooden top piece 5. The lowerend 'stem 9. A valve 10 is carried at the lower end of the stem 9 and is provided with an An ink we11"12, which may be constructed of any suitable material, preferably metal or the like, is arranged in the ink bottle and its bottom 13 has a central opening 14, through which the stem 9 passes. In this way the bottom of the ink well is interposed between the disks 8 and 10. The bottom 13 of the ink well has an eccentrically arranged opening 15 with which the opening 11 is adapted to cooperate for emptying or filling the ink well.

A disk 16 is mounted upon the upper end of the valve stem 9, there being a screw 17 passing into the end of the stem 9 to hold the disk 16 to the stem. A suitable washer 18 is interposed between the disk 16 and the wooden top piece 5 of the cork. Extendingdownwardly from the disk 16 is a lug 19 to i' 'n h t le whe myr y ble p portions or configurations, provided with a engage the depression 20. The opposite ends of the arcuate depression 20 have shoulders 21 and 21. When the lug 19 is iiniengagement with the shoulder 21, the openings 11 and 15 are in registration allowing the ink to enter the ink well from below. When the .lug'19is in engagementxwith the shoulder 21 of the arcuate depressionQO the openings 11 and 15 are out of registration, thereby preventing the. escape of the ink whenthe well is in its'ra'ised position.

I 'It' will beseen thatwith this construction the bottle may be atfany' time corked and the ink well lowered into the bottle and then when it is desired. to. use the-ink, assuming -that the Well is filled, the valve 10 may be rotatedto close the drainageopening l5 and the ink well raised into thefneck of the bottle ;and engaged therewith by means of theflscrew-threads 22.," If it fbe desired to drain o'fl ass gn e ink wen 12 t ese s.. ..n., it a p i on?neph w y ie ea ewe .iy e s em hasessateen :71: aijcb I 611,"?'thieemb s tianf tliftheiinkj'bottle having the' interidrlof'itsfj bmat'mn inkjfbottle and gagingth hebkan well niomitedlonthe W i e fi t enem esa v its bottom PmYided, with an openingfa valve an ink well located therein, a cork to engage the'neck'of the bottle, connections between the Ycorkand the well, whereby when the cork isrem'ovedfaild raised; i k- W 1 m y be connected to the interior of the; neck, detachable connections between the well and meanslina'ybe o pe'riiedioriclosedf t v signature.
